"Now we have like 20 hours to recover. We will have one session really and then we will try to prepare them for Newcastle, which is important. It will be a different game.

"It's not new to us. We quite often have these situations in the last part of the season. That's what we know, that's what we want. It's all good."

Much has been made of former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez having a decisive say in the title race as Newcastle boss, yet Klopp expects the Magpies to make for an "uncomfortable" opponent.

"It's a tough one. Newcastle are in a very good moment," he said. "Rafa and Newcastle obviously felt they were still fighting to stay in the league - since then, they've impressed, won quite a few games in the past weeks.

"They're in a very comfortable situation and have found a proper style of play, consistent. After we played them, I think they changed system to a 5-4-1. They stick to that.

"The positions are always really well covered. They've got [Salomon] Rondon up front, [Ayoze] Perez will probably be fit again, [Christian] Atsu and Kenedy on the wings, the wing-backs are quick and play early crosses.
